A 1960 Plymouth Fury convertible, built to a full deluxe specification and powered by the rare 383 cu. in. 'Sonoramic Commando' V-8 with Cross Ram dual four-barrel induction. Originally displayed at the 1960 Mexican International Auto Show and then sold to a Mexican owner, it accumulated just 22,000 miles before being stored. Collector Wayne Davis acquired it from the original owner and commissioned a full concours-quality restoration, retaining most of the low-mileage original interior. Finished in gold with a tri-tone cloth-and-vinyl interior and chrome wire wheels.
